Chapter 206.1: Resolution
“You’ve been hiding in the capital for twenty years, and should’ve long been clear about the various forces, yet towards this prince, not know anything at all? It’s not like this was the first time Ruan Fang Fei met with mishap. You should know, as Ruan Fang Fei’s greatest backing, would this prince just let you off the hook? You didn’t have enough vigilance, yet say this prince lashed out suddenly, this is just your capabilities?”
Wei-s.h.i.+’s complexion, for a second, turned pale, but very quickly smiled again, “It was this subject’s wife that was inferior in skill, and now, falling into w.a.n.gye’s hands, naturally will just listen to how w.a.n.gye will deal with me.” As she said this, she even batted her eyes at Li Hong Yuan.
Ruan Rui Zhong’s veins violently bulged in anger. No matter what, she was still his wife, to actually seduce another man in front of him! However, hearing their conversation, and knowing that this lowly woman still had another ident.i.ty, he could only endure.
Wei-s.h.i.+ continued, “Can this subject’s wife ask w.a.n.gye two questions? When did w.a.n.gye notice this subject’s wife? And why would w.a.n.gye pay attention to this subject’s wife? Reasonably speaking, as a madam of the inner manor, one shouldn’t make w.a.n.gye ‘view in another light’, right?”
“Raising such a good daughter, is it that strange that this prince noticed you?” His eyes still didn’t carry the slightest emotion.
Getting belittled perhaps would hurt, but to have nothing at all, and completely not be taken seriously, for certain people, it was even more unbearable. The more highly one thought of oneself, considering oneself to be unparalleled, the more easily one would become this kind of person. Wei-s.h.i.+ just happened to be this kind. Just, she was very good at restraining her emotions, so outsider had no way of knowing. Wei-s.h.i.+’s lips twitched. Indeed, that daughter of hers, from the start, just aimed for this one, and thus would, because of her, implicate herself. How simple of a connection.
At the time, she still had Ruan Fang Fei cupped in her palm pampering. Since her daughter fancied them, then regardless of who the other party was, that was just their honor. She has never given up on her investigation towards the various princes, especially those that have been bestowed a w.a.n.g t.i.tle and opened their own manor. But Li Hong Yuan hid too deeply, too cautious in handling matters, not revealing in the slightest, so naturally she didn’t have the chance to detect anything wrong. One year, two year, and after four years, the result from her investigation towards Li Hong Yuan was the ‘surface matching the inside’ from beginning to end. Her energy and manpower was limited after all, so her investigation towards Li Hong Yuan was just called back, further allowing her daughter to approach the other party.
“You investigated this prince for four years, and if not for Ruan Fang Fei, you probably really would’ve been able to grasp some pieces.”
Prior to sixteen, Li Hong Yuan resided deep in the palace after all. At that time, Wei-s.h.i.+ had already taken root. Even if he had his past life’s memories, ones pertaining to Wei-s.h.i.+ were too few. Without rhyme or reason, Li Hong Yuan really wouldn’t have easily suspected her.
If she’d known Li Hong Yuan wasn’t just empty trash with just a good face, but a human-devouring ferocious beast hiding in the dark, never mind letting Ruan Fang Fei get near him, she would undoubtedly let her stay far far away. After all, any well-bred young lady all don’t need a reason to avoid the living Enma.
That said, Ruan Fang Fei has fancied Li Hong Yuan since she was small. Her allowing her to approach him, how was it not necessarily a way to sound him out. If he really had that ambition, facing the power of the Head Cabinet Minister, how would one not be moved. That’s why, this was actually considered an unsolvable match. Wei-s.h.i.+ just missed one move, bringing about a crus.h.i.+ng defeat.
“w.a.n.gye is wise and brilliant, this subject’s wife is ashamed to be inferior. Speaking of which, dealing with someone like this subject’s wife, one should’ve just taken care of as soon as possible, yet w.a.n.gye dragged on for this many years, why was this?” Towards those that didn’t act according to common sense, truly made one exhausted inside.
——-Because your daughter is very useful, and your threat was within a controllable scope. Things that have worth, this prince rather doesn’t mind keeping around. Would Li Hong Yuan tell her these? Naturally no. Matters regarding Jing Wan, others didn’t have the right to know.
Speaking of which, Ruan Fang Fei had mentioned to her matters relating to Jing Wan before, but she simply didn’t believe, and had long thrown to the back of her mind. Aside from accidentally hitting the mark, who would think up this kind of truth? Even if Ruan Fang Fei guessed it, and even if Li Hong Yuan also admitted with his own mouth, would she really just believe it? Afraid, the possibility of thinking that Li Hong Yuan was deliberately angering her was higher. So long as one was a rational person, one would all rely on evidence, relying on logic. For Luo Pei Shan and Luo Old Madam to have that easily believed Li Hong Yuan’s explanation, it was nothing more than because they ‘used emotions’ to view the matter, believing that no matter who fell for Jing Wan, it was all normal.
Seeing that Li Hong Yuan didn’t plan on continuing, Wei-s.h.i.+ maintained her seductive appearance, “Then now, how does w.a.n.gye plan on dealing with this subject’s wife? This subject’s wife has heard, in w.a.n.gye’s villa in the capital, there’s even mother-daughter pairs. Although this one lost to w.a.n.gye, one still endlessly admires w.a.n.gye. Don’t know whether or not one has the honor of serving w.a.n.gye? This one certainly will be able to let w.a.n.gye experience what’s called ‘the extreme pleasures of the mortal realm’.” Her body, as if somewhat unable to endure, lightly squirmed, even extending her tongue, licking her red lips, appearing extremely seductive.
Wei-s.h.i.+ has studied the art of seduction before. Of course, just based on some little maneuvers of her body, in addition to some external little things, for instance, aphrodisiac and such, it made others feel as if she was even more desirable than ordinary people. In addition to her having studied bedroom techniques before, ordinarily when a man gets involved with her, he would always feel it was even more pleasurable here with her than with other women. As such, without the least bit of willpower, it really was quite difficult to free oneself from her. For Ruan Rui Zhong’s sons to have fallen into her hands, for the most part, it was precisely because of this. Then, on top of that taboo relations.h.i.+p, it made them even more unable to give up. And Wei-s.h.i.+ herself was already someone with strong s.e.xual desires to begin with, and was never one to wrong herself. When Ruan Rui Zhong is unable to satisfy her, having an affair can only be said to be as a matter of course.
The reason why she didn’t use similar methods on Ruan Rui Zhong was nothing more than worrying about his somewhat old age. If his body were to be hollowed out too ruthlessly, his life will shorten. That would just be the gains not making up for the losses. After all, Ruan Rui Zhong’s future prospects were limitless, and in the beginning, when marrying him, he already had the possibility of becoming the Head Cabinet Minister. Such a person, the useful things one can exploit were many. Moreover, this man was very conceited. Without even needing for her to use seduction to retain him, she was all able to achieve her goal. As such, what harm was there for her to entirely be a virtuous good wife in front of him?
Right now, she was seducing Li Hong Yuan. She was confident that as long as she pulls Li Hong Yuan to bed, not only will she be able to preserve her life, she can even obtain things that in the past, she never dared to dream of.
Ruan Rui Zhong, at this age of his, for the most part, already lost his l.u.s.t. That’s why Wei-s.h.i.+’s provocation, towards him, won’t have any effect. Just, they were still husband and wife in name. She actually dared to be this brazen, not having him taken seriously! He finally couldn’t endure anymore. “s.l.u.t, how dare you!” To still use the address ‘subject’s wife’ at this time, was it to specifically disgust him?! “w.a.n.gye, you also saw. This woman is this unbearably wanton, don’t even know how dirty. w.a.n.gye, if you were to get infected, won’t that be dirtying oneself. This subject will let someone have her drowned right away, so as to avoid bringing more harm to others.”
Wei-s.h.i.+, however, completely didn’t have Ruan Rui Zhong taken seriously, her attention from beginning to end all on Li Hong Yuan, approaching step by step. And the closer she got, the more excited she felt. Such an extraordinarily handsome, strong, and unusually talented man aroused her unprecedented desire to conquer. The drug that was clearly just effective towards men seemingly even affected her.
The Wei-s.h.i.+ at this very moment truly was very much like a female dog in heat.
